Hello! Umm I don't own Naruto…darn…

I am hoping you all can give me some feedback on my writing style…

pmiranda13: Thanks for reviewing, and that was definitely a confidence booster.

Anyways, onto the story!

Chapter 2

"Naruto…"

Chapter 2

I just stood there, listening to the council rant about how the teme was able to defeat Gaara, and how I hurt Sakura. 'Those fools, I was the one who defeated Gaara. I was the one who saved Sakura…Temes..'

Finally, I had enough. "If all you're going to talk about is Sasuke, then why did you order me here?!"

SLAP!

Jiraya walked in just in time to see Akima Haruno, one of the civilian council members, and Sakura's mother, strike me across the face. "What is going on here?!" He roared. "WE are supposed to TALK to Naruto about his heritage, not abuse him you bakas!"

"My heritage? What about it?" I ask, rubbing my cheek and glaring at Akima.

There was silence and then, Shikaku Nara spoke up, revealing that he was awake, "It has been brought to the Council's attention that you are the son of Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Whirlpool, and…The fourth Hokage, Konoha's Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze."

In a calm fashion, I turned to my perverted sensei.

"Your student." It was not a question.

"Yes…" Jiraya suddenly had the urge to punch himself in the head a few times. "Listen, Nar-"

"Save it, because I don't care." In a blur of red, orange, and blue, I was out of the building, rushing home. When I got there, I quickly wrote a note for Konohamaru, grabbed my money, my clothes, and some rations. My weapons were already on my belt, and I ran, faster than ever before.

I easily passed the chunnin guards, and was well on my way out of the forest surrounding Konoha, when I felt a presence behind me.

I stopped, turned around and glared. I searched for my pursuer, and I saw movement from behind a bush. A tall man stood up, and…I froze.

Sunshine yellow hair, as bright and obnoxious as mine, bright blue eyes that held his intelligence behind a mask... this must be him.

The same thought flashed through both blondes minds.

JIRAYA'S POV

'Where did the gaki go?! We need to find him! What if he left the village? What if he hurt himself? Oh, I knew this wasn't a good Idea!' A million thoughts rushed through the perverted Sannin's head, some scenarios worse than others.

"Have you found his scent yet?" I watched, despair settling in deeper than before, as Kakashi shook his head sadly. "Well, get the Inuzukas, Huugas, and anyone with a summon out there searching!"

I finished the seals, and called my best tracking toads. Kakashi sent every hound of his in a different direction, except for Pakkun, who is his best tracker. "Gimikagi, Gomahachi, search for him, go now!" I need not elaborate on who he was. The reversed summoned to him.

A few minute later, they pooped back, "Jiraya! He is with a man that looks just like Minato! We were unable to discover the coordinates. He sent us back to fast, but he is in that direction." Gimikagi was pointing west.

Kakashi, Pakkun, and I were racing west before the finished speaking. A few moments later, in the forest, we were able to pick up a scent. Actually two scents. Naruto's, and…

NARUTO'S POV

"Minato…" The man frowned at my words, but no-the-less nodded. That was all I needed. I ran to him, and he opened his arms as if he expected me to try and hug him. Oh no, that would come after. As I neared him, I plastered a fake smile on my lips, easily. He started to smile back when…

"Oof." I heard as he stood hunched over, gasping for breath as I removed my fist from his gut area. He shakily stood back up, and he found himself with arms around him. Tears were streaming down my face and I didn't bother wiping them away.

"Dad" I said as I buried my head into his shoulder. As I cried, his arms snaked around me, and carried me to a small cottage about a mile away. Eventually, I fell asleep in his warm, fatherly embrace.

MINATO'S POV

'Oh my Kami. He is alive, really alive!' I thought as I carried my son's worn down body to my hidden cottage. I smiled as I looked up at the moon. "Thank you for answering my prayers." I whispered as I crossed the threshold.

When we arrived, I put him down on my couch, laid a blanket across him, and started making food. I made miso and pork ramen, for if he is like his mother, sushi, if he's like me, and some traditional Fire Country's foods.

I had just finished setting the table when I heard a small yawn. I poked my head into the other room, to see Naruto stretching and yawning. I smiled, glad that I didn't have to wake him.

"Good Afternoon, Naruto." I said as warmly as I could. My smile dimmed a bit as I saw him stiffen at my words, but after a moment, he relaxed again, and ran at me. Expecting another punch, I braced myself, but went with it when Naruto hugged me tightly, as if afraid that I would disappear.

"You're alive Tou-san" He was grinning, even more than his mother had been able to.

"I could say the same to you Musuko." I said, and he tilted his head like a five year old would. "But first tell me, who adopted you as a baby?"

Naruto's ear-splitting grin fell from his whiskered face, "...Nobody..." he whispered. Naruto's gaze slid to the floor.

"Nobody." I repeated calmly. In my head, I was thinking, 'There will be hell to pay.'

So wha'cha all think? Hmm? Did I do a good job? See any mistakes?

To recap, (Thanks pmiranda13 for the tip) Naruto goes to the council, finds out who is parents are, feels betrayed, and runs off, forgetting about Konohamaru, and meets his father in the woods.

Review if you like or see something wrong, if you don't like it, then don't continue reading, Kay?

I will be back!
